A Home Which is You
A home is a person. I think I realized this a long time back. I loved all the homes I've stayed with my parents. Every time my dad changed jobs, and consequently cities and homes. And then in his…
Naked, My Love
We complicate relationships because we deny simplicity or simple ways of loving or - maybe - the simple solutions to complex things. Every relationship starts with a clean slate. Pure,…
This light like love
To awaken every morning is to reward oneself. The day is desperate for us to discover it, to unravel its mysteries and find its surprises. We do not have to fly or be special. We merely need to be…
Before Beauty Takes Its Toll
There's so much in this world to be unhappy about. The reasons are endless. And we can fallow in the silky self-indulgence of not being in control and letting circumstances take their toll on…
A Poem as a Gift for a Girl With No Confidence in Herself
Don't we all know people who are gold - talented, beautiful, attractive - but who deep inside are uncertain about themselves. They doubt their abilities, and for ever (and ever) they look at every…
Closer to Death. Nearer to God.
Haruki Murakami said "Death is not the opposite of life but a part of it." Loss is an inevitable part of life. It could be the loss of a pet, the end of a relationship or loss of a loved one, the…
Marriage Made Me a Philosopher
Marriage: it was the end of all illusions and the beginning of philosophy: marriage was a lesson in impermanence - not an idea, a daily unfolding. To remain calm in storms not of my…
The Long Now of Us
I sometimes feel we would be better people if we were slaves to love. Not to work for it, not to fantasize about it, not try to record of its wonder - but just to ease into its trust and…
A Child Mulling on Life Beside the Sea
The whole process of growing up has an inevitability- and a tragedy - attached to it. A child grows up believing - trusting everything and everyone. An innocence which is endearing - and often…
The Art of Living
I spent three days in Kochi, immersed in the art biennale. And wandering through the lanes, warehouses, waterways, and cafes of the city. The city was alive with art - representations of life, adn…
Memories of Peppermint Mocha
It's a startling thought, that someday sometime, there's that final time - and never again - when you will meet someone, hold someone, say that word, share that laughter. Then how do we know that…
Lunatics in Search of Peace
Animals hunt to fill their stomachs. Humans do so for power and greed. And when they possess weapons of destruction, they think themselves to be invincible. It's easy to say it's primordial, part…
The Ironies of Love
Words are all what we have, to conjoin or to distance each other, what can make the difference between making a bridge to cross differences, or to find dissonance to deepen chasms. Who are we if not…
It Takes Time for Love to Find Comfort
Relationships take time. Even 'love at first sight' is a construct only, finding immediate challenge in the crucible of real life. I know couples who have gone around for years, but find they…
Where We Start & Where We End
The charm and beguile of life is that it throws the unexpected with such unerring regularity. We start something with an intent. But the universe has other ideas. We strive for bliss in flight and…
Replay - When Did You Say?
This is a repeat of one of my more popular poems, replayed here with a hope of getting a new audience, who might have missed it, Sometimes you just know. As someone once said "I knew you were the…
The Sound of a Man Falling
I reach the summit. Not inch by inch—no, I arrive in a flood. Talent spills out of me. Love follows, tidal and unquestioning. Directors orbit me like obedient moons; they cannot imagine a world…
The Lives of Others
We have to step out of our lives to see what is in the great beyond. Often just outside our gated communities are worlds we know nothing of, lives being lived in ways which we cannot conceive of.…
The Space Between Our Words
Why don't we have honest conversations with the ones we love the most? Why don't we listen - really listen - without comments, without reply, without retort - when they attempt to tell us what hurts,…
A Poem as a Gift for a Girl With No Confidence in Herself
Poems have a way of showing truths and making us recognize what we are often blind to - that the best we have is adequate and the worst we think we are can also be beautiful. There is so much we lose…
